Capture the nature around you through guided and mindful outdoor painting

Welcome to the Plein Air painting event in Roath Park!

Come join us on Sunday morning at 11:00 AM at the Roath Park Promenade (by the pedalos) for a fun day of painting outdoors. Whether you're an experienced artist or just starting out, this event is perfect for all skill levels.

Paints, brushes, and easel will be provided, so come and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as you create, while enjoying the fresh air and scenic views of Roath Park.

The workshop will invite you to start out with a gentle guided meditation to ground ourselves in the space, to then playfully observe our surroundings with different prompts and techniques.

After our warm up we will have a chance to properly delve into our canvas for the remaining of the session!

Don't miss out on this opportunity to unleash your creativity and connect with the local community. See you by the pedalos!
